Your amavis is blocking.
The message is deferred because amavis is never able to successfully hand the mail back off to postfix. Inspecting the message in the queue might reveal something.
I have 91 messages in the queue now. I made some changes, had fetchmail deliver to procmail instead of postfix. This way the only mail that I do not see is what is delivered directly to my computer, several_names@wahoo.no-ip.org. I also disabled vscan (amavis) without seeing any change ???? BUT, I did not notice any changes in the mail-log (amavis). The error (as I see it) (on one line): Nov 9 20:58:03 wahoo amavis[6077]: mail forwarding failed, retry: Retry later, MTA said: 000 at /usr/sbin/amavis line 1199, <GEN0> line 188.
